So what is Hcg and the Hcg Diet Protocol? It is a hormone called "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin" and it is created by the placenta when a woman is pregnant. What does Hcg do, it causes the body to divert "stored fat" to the fetus. Dr ATW Simeons developed the Hcg Diet Protocol over 60 years ago. The Simeons Protocol saw it's hey day for many years until in the 70's the FDA gave it a bad report. At that time there were many Hcg weight loss centers where people were losing tremendous amounts of weight, but with the FDA's report the clinics all closed down...
Until 2006 when a man named Kevin Trudeau reintroduced the Hcg Diet Protocol with "The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About".
At that time the book described medical weight loss centers where people were having good success with "Hcg diet shots" that's right "weight loss injections" which were painful & ran the risk of side effects.

With injectable Hcg there was the problem with mixing Hcg, whether or not you had the right dilution for the Hcg to be effective. Also Hcg is available only with prescription so if you were going to buy Hcg without prescription you had to go to Canada or some online out of country pharmacy...Pretty scary right. Then came the advent of "Homeopathic Hcg" sub-lingual Hcg, you put a few drops under your tongue 3 to 6 times a day. The "Hcg Weight Loss Cure" was reborn. I started Hcg about 3 months ago & as of today's writing I have lost 52 pounds. I am ecstatic & I get many compliments on a daily basis. I was a very large person weighing initially 337 pounds & today I weighed 285.0. Hcg is used in conjunction with the (VLCD) "Very Low Calorie Diet" A 500 calorie diet. But don't worry with the Hcg it is a very easy diet to comply with.
Some people have reported being hungry the first couple of days of calorie restriction but that soon levels out. Mild headaches have also been noted.
